Infosys Placement Paper-02 MAR 2007 - CHENNAI
The Selection Procedure had three phases:
PPT presentation on INFOSYS made by the head of the HR recruiting team
Aptitude and Verbal Reasoning
HR Interview
In the morning (around 10 am), after the arrival, u will be exposed to a ppt
presentation on Infosys. I am sure that this will motivate enough to get placed
at Infosys.
Next, we were allowed to disperse and we were allotted rooms for our test. After
we are settled in our rooms, we were given an application form to fill it up.
The instructions to fill the application form will be announced prior. Be
careful in filling those forms and provide accurate statistical data of your
marks as far as possible.
Next comes the Aptitude test. It was started at 11.50 am. The time limit for aps
is 40 mins within which u have to complete 30 q's. The aptitude session consists
of the following sub groups.
A puzzle and 5 objectives based on the puzzle.
5 Problems on finding the next figure in the series.
5 Problems on data Sufficiency( Little tricky)
Data Interpretation: A table was given and 5 questions followed it.(an easy one)
Once again a puzzle which is little tough as compared to the previous one with 5
questions followed it
Last 5 questions on Syllogism.
The puzzles I mentioned here are not the real puzzles which u will find in
Shakuntala devi and George summers but simple ones that u will find it in R S
Aggarwal verbal reasoning book under the topic Puzzle test. For all the above
pattern u can refer R S aggarwal book.
After 40 mins they collected the question paper for aps and gave us verbal q
paper. Here is where u have to put more effort. The verbal part is very tough as
compared to aptitude. If u are strong at basic grammar (particularly tenses and
phrases) u will have this cleared.
There will be 40 q's which u have to finish in 30 mins. Time management is very
much essential here. The pattern of this question is:
2 Passages (R C) followed by 5 q's each. The first one was easy and the second
one was little tough.
Selecting the correct option which is grammatically correct from the available
four options.
fill in the blanks type questions
Replacing the underline phrases with suitable ones
Deriving conclusion from small passages.
For grammar, you can refer WREN & MARTIN book.
The tests are over by 1 pm. They told us that the results will be announced by
3.30 pm. There were 160 students from our College (Dhanalakshmi College of Engg.,)
attended the test. The results for our college was announced at 6 o clock and
soon after that we were called to attend the HR Interview. There were 59
students who are shortlisted for the Interview. The Interview started
Immediately after the announcement of written tests.
There were 8 panels and the segregated us into 8 groups. All the 8 panel HR's
were so cool and they asked just simple questions from the Resume. Some of our
panels had puzzles also.
I was allotted to a gent HR who was really cool and jovial. He made me
comfortable and offered me a biscuit. I accepted it and said thanks. Then he
started asking some simple questions from the Resume like
1. Tell me abt urself?
2. How good are u at innovation?
3. What are all your leadership qualities?
4. Explain a situation where u were so innovative
5. How do u manage in a team?
6. Hobbies?

8. What are the extra courses that u r going now?
9. He gave me a puzzle and I solved it. They see only the approach and not
arriving at the solution.
10. Extra curricular activities and some q's based on it
Then he asked me tat do I have any question? I asked him tat how would my
performance be measured in the job so tat I can prepare mentally to achieve the
peak in the job?
He answered me tat it is too early to concerned abt those issues and he
commented that it was a very good qn and he liked my attitude. Then he asked me
to check my mails regularly( which is an indirect sign tat I got placed). Then
he wished me for my bright future.. I came out with confidence.
The results were announced by 10 pm. I was very happy to hear that I got
selected. 44/59 were selected.
So friends, The main thing is to prepare a little and project a lot. Use your
innovative and creative ideas and make sure tat it is exhibited. Be yourself and
